Dialysis Quiz: Hemo vs Peritoneal — Do You Know?

1. Which vascular access is preferred for chronic hemodialysis because of its superior longevity and lower infection rates?

Arteriovenous fistula

Temporary central venous catheter

Peripherally inserted central catheter

Femoral vein catheter

2. In peritoneal dialysis, what is the primary membrane used for solute exchange?

Artificial synthetic membrane

Peritoneal membrane

Hemodialysis membrane

Subcutaneous membrane

3. Which statement accurately compares hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis regarding treatment frequency?

Both require the same number of sessions per week

Hemodialysis is typically 3–4 hours, 3 times weekly; peritoneal dialysis is continuous or nightly

Peritoneal dialysis requires more frequent hospital visits

Hemodialysis can be performed once weekly for most patients

4. What is the most common serious complication of peritoneal dialysis related to the catheter?

Hyperkalemia

Peritonitis

Anemia

Hypertension

5. Which type of dialysis allows patients the most independence and flexibility in daily scheduling?

In-center hemodialysis

Nocturnal hemodialysis

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Acute intermittent hemodialysis

6. True or False: Hemodialysis is contraindicated in patients with severe cardiovascular instability.

True

False

7. What is the standard dialysate dwell time in continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD)?

1–2 hours

4–6 hours

8–10 hours

12–24 hours

8. What is the primary advantage of nocturnal hemodialysis compared to conventional three-times-weekly hemodialysis?

Lower cost

Better middle-molecule clearance and improved outcomes

Easier vascular access maintenance

Reduced need for anticoagulation

9. True or False: Peritoneal dialysis patients have greater dietary restrictions than hemodialysis patients.

True

False

10. Which complication is more commonly associated with hemodialysis than peritoneal dialysis?

Peritonitis

Intradialytic hypotension

Hyperglycemia from dialysate

Abdominal wall hernias

11. True or False: Patients on peritoneal dialysis require blood pressure monitoring during treatment.

True

False
